This is required anyways, because with a sane level of security precautions and blockers you can't order from random sites. Unless you travel a lot, it is quicker to use a "burner" browser without the blockers than it is to dredge through 125 different javascript sites to figure out what is safe to enable. And if you put the extra browsers data in/tmp then it won't even have history. But even without that step, it still won't expose your regular browser data and history (eg, banking)
Samsung uses Snapdragon processors which is 100% Qualcomm IP.
Which is why Samsung can't just say, "Golly Qualcomm, go away we're not going to pay you anymore. We're going to build our own!"
If it turns out compatible, they'll have a hard time claiming they didn't copy it when they even used to license it!
That is the danger is the first place when you have somebody develop tech to sell to you, instead of developing it yourself. They then own the implementations you're used to using for the features you thought of!
Ultimately, Apple probably figures they'll get a better price at settlement of the suit than at the negotiation.
Surely some percentage of their expenditures are also related to fulfilling their obligations to Apple and their costs go down too;) No reason at all to presume they'll be in the red, they might just be a lot smaller.
Also, the R&D wouldn't still be getting spent right up to the day Apple stops buying the manufactured chips, that would be silly. The R&D costs would be scaling down right away, while the profit from existing Apple sales would continue for 18-24 months. We not only don't know they'll go in the red, we don't even know that their profit margin will go down! It might go up, especially in the worst case scenario where they can't replace the orders. If they crash and burn or just end up smaller than they are now depends on the quality of their management, something probably not visible at this stage from outside.
Because they were designing custom stuff for Apple, where Apple didn't own the customized stuff they were buying. That makes it hard for Apple to cut them loose and replace those parts with their own. They would have be building something significantly different for themselves than the thing they're replacing.
When you buy a GPU from AMD or Intel, you're just buying a pre-made design. Of course you can't copy it, but you don't need to. You're just buying it. But now you ask to have a custom feature added, and you build a bunch of software and OS stuff on top of that feature, well it isn't your feature. Trying to build it yourself is like trying to hire Intel to make a chip with AMD's tech; not allowed.
The big problem for Apple here is how exposed they are to Imagination's proprietary tech because of having used it for so long.
If you can't even normalize your units to the context, why would I assume that there is some sort of analysis or quality control? Maybe you just grabbed them out of the air? Why would I bother checking?
Well, everybody agrees a population of 6000 is too small.
They didn't get delisted, they got their classification changed from "endangered" to "threatened." They're still "on the endangered species list," because that list has a bunch of different classifications, and "threatened" is still one of the ones that receives protections.
It just means that instead of being right on the brink of extinction, now they still needing help for their longterm survival.
There were only "a few hundred" at one point, and the population has been steadily rising. So it is clear that they're going extinct in the short term.
Grandpa, that's called wikipedia. This is called a conversation. Take your meds and go inside before you slip and fall.
And if you remember this conversation when you get there, and you still want to know more, just type your question into google. The little gnomes inside will find the citation and provide it to you! This is the magic of the future, grandpa. You don't have to understand it. Just listen to the gnome.
and you'll probably replace it with something new and shiny long before it outright falls apart anyway.
That's not to say there aren't areas where quality is important for everyone and buying shitty walmart junk is a terrible, possibly even dangerous idea (many types of sports equipment for instance, bikes especially), but in many cases cheap, generic crap is perfectly serviceable.
I buy shit like that one time, and if I buy another one it is because I wanted two, or gave the first one away.
Pathetic.
The difference between a cheap bike and a cheap bucket is that when the bucket fails, it turns into trash. When the bike "fails," it just gets new bearings and grease and is as good as new. Maybe a shifter breaks and gets replaced. The bike is 100% serviceable, so of course it is an example of cheap crap that is serviceable. Very few items in that store are serviceable, though. Not sure what imagined dangers there are in a cheap bike. A cheap kitchen appliance or bathroom accessory is a lot more dangerous. Heck, a portable radio is more dangerous than a cheap bike.
At a past job an on-site supervisor bought a yard tool from Wally World, same brand and model as the ones we normally used from Regional Box Store. The tool broke the first time he used it. He was a bit of a character, and ended up out in the street kicking it around and shouting at it, because he was so sure it should be the same as the normal ones. Later he came to understand it wasn't a universal conspiracy to make his day awful, just a different quality tool. He thought that it was "impossible" that they would sell a different tool with the same model number, so we checked the package; slightly different package, same model number, same UPC code. Different plastic code, different plastic mold! Definitely less plastic.
There was a famous one in the 90s where they were selling "Made in USA" clothes, because those red state poor folks loved those flags. Of course, it was actually all made in China, and then they had to take the fraudulent labels off. Average shopper there thinks they "switched" to Chinese products to save money, and has a whole spiel about how it is libral conspiracy to destroy `Merica.
There was also the famous case of the name brand pickles that at the other stores never had a partial pickle, you would get the amount on the label rounded up to the nearest whole pickle. And a good thing too for pickle lovers, because if you can a half a cuc it gets soft. But at Wally World, that "same" jar of pickles would have exactly the weight on the label, with a partial pickle to make it work. Yuck.
If people want to buy a product that cost 15% less to make than the cheapest version sold at other stores, and they charge 5% less for it, that isn't a very good deal for any product you would buy more than one time in your whole life. It isn't any of my business if people shop there, but they shouldn't be surprised when the item they purchased breaks. Unfortunately, most of these people are so dim that they'll blame only the brand. But eventually, each of those brands suffers real consequences from it.
Those signs really crack me up! Like they think assholes wait to leave their neighborhood before driving like assholes? What?
I mean, you're on a residential street. Assholes drive by faster than you think they should. It stands to reason that a lot of those assholes live in the same neighborhood as you already. Drive like your kids lived here?! WTF are trying to do, invite them to drag race in front of your house?!
Hey dufus, those guys already have access. That is not who this story is about. This is about anybody with money being able to buy your private internet history.
If God needs to wipe out a city using a plague or disaster you didn't expect to happen, how does that teach a bible-thumper not to drive an SUV? Isn't he just going to drive around to pray with all his friends and relations?
Wait, you don't think I can program rich people's second and third cars to self-drive behind him and rejoin the pack using GPS if separated? You think 1 car per person is some sort of hard limit?!
Where I live we call them "traffic calmers" and they come in a bunch of varieties including speed bumps and sections of the road that have narrow winding lanes lined with noise strips and cement barricades, planters in the middle of regular-sized intersections, etc. What is replacing speed bumps are ramps where you can take it at up to 25mph in most cars, but you smash up the bottom going faster. Much better than traditional speed bumps that require a much lower speed.
Most people like them. But another demographic that hates them are people that can barely drive.

Actually, no. You're just a cluestick who is trolling about three-letter agencies because your knee got tapped with the word "privacy."

A kernel of truth surrounded by lies is still a heaping pile of lies.
If you doubled the amount of truthiness it contained, it would still be entirely a lie.
I knew I smelled a rat, and when I saw the Rat Pope it all made sense, even the time traveling but incompetent federal agents!
Wait, you don't think I can program rich people's second and third cars to self-drive behind him and rejoin the pack using GPS if separated? You think 1 car per person is some sort of hard limit?!
I don't think legality is the major concern. Though it is probably well protected legally.
If you can afford the required physical security, you can easily afford the lawyer.
grandpa, you've got some food in your neckbeard again, why don't you go back inside where its warm?

I saw the headline and instantly blurted out, "GEEEEEEEE, YA THINK?!" and then my wife came in and asked if everything is OK.
